It winds around the land
This giver of life
Like a snake in the grass
It bends and causes strife.
It’s boundaries aren’t clear
Though it cut’s through the land
It’s rises and falls
When the spring rains are here
To love it’s mystery
To listen to it’s song
To partake of it’s life
Or ride it along
It has fish that do swim
It ‘s current does flow
Fishermen to fish
And boats that do row

Anonymousabout 20 years agoIMHO your last stanza greatly weakens the entire poem with the stilted sentence construction in the first and last lines.
"It has fish that do swim
It ?s current does flow
Fishermen to fish
And boats that do row"
Since you do not keep a consistant meter between stanzas, why not try something like:
"It has fish that swim
And currents that flow
Fishermen to fish
And boats to row"
